Across or Through or Throughout?

[johnnesteixeira]

Hi! I have doubts about using these prepositions.
The preposition 'across' has many meanings, and there are other prepositions with same meanings than meanings of "across"

Which is correct?

- There were many houses like this across the world
- There were many house like this throughout the world

Now, which is correct with this meaning of 'across'?

- The horse goes out across their help, because it is sick.
- The horse goes out through their help, because it is sick.

I thank for replies!

- 'There were many houses like this throughout the world' is more natural.

The sentences about horses do not make sense.

Ok, but, I made changes in the sentences about horses. Do these sentences make sense, now?

- He goes out across their help, because he is sick.
- He goes out through their help, because he is sick.

No.

I had sent it wrongly. And now?


- He goes out across their help, because he is sick.
- He goes out through their help, because he is sick.

No, they don't make sense at all.

Sorry, johnnesteixeira, but I can't even guess what you are trying to say.

I guess johnnesteixeira means a horse died because it was sick and nobody touched it.
But it's just my guess, so it probably completely wrong or vice versa. You can rephrase your sentences and we'll get their meanings.

I think you have misunderstood the meaning of the phrasal verb "to go out". It means "to leave the building" or "to go to a place or venue providing entertainment, usually in the evening".

Are you going out tomorrow?
Yes, I'm going food shopping and then to the hairdresser.

Shall we go out this weekend?
Great idea!. Let's go dancing on Saturday night and then out for lunch on Sunday.

What did you think "to go out" means?
